Since last week was a stacked card, these competitors never got to address the fact that they are in the match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the men\u2019s match, Cena announced that the stars who will be featured are Joe Hendry, Leon Slater, Je\u2019Von Evans, Dion Lennox, and Myles Borne. And for the women\u2019s match, it was announced that it will feature Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Jordynne Grace, and Kendal Grey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the competitors have been announced, there may be tension between them in the upcoming episode of NXT. We will have to watch to see if they have anything to say.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s Next for Tatum Paxley?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, not too much has been announced for this upcoming episode of NXT. However, the audience has been left with many questions following the two weeks of NXT Gold Rush. One of the biggest questions is \u201cWhy did Izzi Dame attack Tatum Paxley?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Paxley\u2019s match against Jacy Jayne at Halloween Havoc, we saw Izzi Dame enter the ring with the NXT Women\u2019s Championship in hand, appearing like she was going to attack Paxley. Paxley ducked and Dame his Jacy Jayne, which aided Tatum Paxley in her victory against Jayne. Even though Dame\u2019s actions were confusing, Dame and the rest of The Culling would celebrate Paxley and her victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, at NXT Gold Rush, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/11\/19\/tatum-paxley-betrayed-by-the-culling-to-lose-nxt-womens-championship-on-night-1-of-nxt-gold-rush\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Dame\u2019s true colors<\/a> showed as she turned on Paxley, costing her the NXT Women\u2019s Championship. We have yet to hear from either woman, but they have been posting on social media about their emotions regarding what occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Oh, not even close.
